Despite the agreement last year regarding compensation for public sector workers, the President of the Jamaica Confederation of Trade Unions (JCTU), Helene Davis-Whyte, says the government has disregarded some agreed terms.

The President of JCTU says the Ministry yielded to that request, but the meeting bore no fruit. Watch the report:
